The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has said any candidate who chooses to get an underhand admission should face the consequences.
This is even as the board reiterated that all tertiary institutions’ admission must be processed through it.
The admonition, which was contained in a post on its official X handle on Sunday, came as a response to a user who asked the board to improve the admission regularization process.
Adenkule Adu @adu_adenkunke1 had urged JAMB to include in its portal a better channel to get regularization done without visiting the office.
@adu_adenkunke1 complained that he had been patronising the office in his state for months, but kept getting excuses.
“It is high time JAMB improved the admission regularisation process.
“JAMB should include in its portal a better channel to get this done without visiting the office.
“I’ve been patronising the office in my state for months now, they kept giving me excuses,” he wrote.
However, JAMB replied that the admonition should rather be to stop the exercise (regularization) in its entirety.
JAMB wrote: “The admonition should rather be to stop the exercise in its entirety.
“The policy is clear, ‘all tertiary institutions admission must be processed through JAMB… ‘As such, any candidate that chooses to get an underhand admission should face the consequences’.
“How would you be involved in illegality and still gets effrontery to offer advice on how the correction process should be carried out? Be guided.”
